Surface Reaction Mechanism for Deuterium-deuterium Fusion with Gas/solid- State Fusion Device
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent highly reproducible results of tritium production by deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion from gas/solid-state fusion experiments are discussed in terms of a surface fusion mechanism. Theoretical criteria and experimental conditions for improving and optimizing D-D fusion rates in a gas/solid-state fusion device are described. It is shown that the surface fusion mechanism also provides a plausible explanation for the nonreproducibility of the results of electrolysis fusion experiments.

Modeling of hydrogen/deuterium dynamics and heat generation on palladium nanoparticles for hydrogen storage and solid-state nuclear fusion
We modeled the dynamics of hydrogen and deuterium adsorbed on palladium nanoparticles including the heat generation induced by the chemical adsorption and desorption, as well as palladium-catalyzed reactions. Our calculations based on the proposed model reproduce the experimental time-evolution of pressure and temperature with a single set of fitting parameters for hydrogen and deuterium inject...
متن کاملHow Good is the Bright Ring Characterization for Uniformity of Deuterium Ice Layers within Cryogenic Nuclear Fusion Targets?
Cryogenic targets, thin plastic shells surrounding thick cryogenic deuterium layers, are used to achieve nuclear fusion. These targets are irradiated by lasers causing the targets to implode and create fusion reactions by forcing the deuterium inside to fuse together. The cryogenic targets are pressurized with deuterium gas, and then the targets are chilled to about 20K to freeze an ice layer o...
متن کاملHydrogen Absorption Property of Pd-Doped Porous Materials
In electrochemical loading of Pd with deuterium, it has been known that attaining a D/Pd value larger than 0.88 is necessary for triggering excess heat effects [1]. It has been reported by Arata and Zhang that the heat arising from D-D nuclear fusion reaction in solid is observed simply by pressurizing nano-Pd/ZrO2 system with deuterium gas [2]. It seems that nano-scale Pd particles absorb more...
متن کاملFormation of condensed metallic deuterium lattice and nuclear fusion
It was confirmed that nanometer-sized metal powder (atom clusters or simply clusters) can absorb an extremely large amount of deuterium/hydrogen atoms more than 300% against the number density of host metal. Within such clusters, the bonding potential widely changes from the center region to peripheral ones, so that the zig-zag atom-chains are always formed dynamically around the average positi...
متن کاملEffective Interaction Potential in the Deuterium Plasma and Multiple Resonance Scattering
The effective interaction potential for charged particles is calculated in the deuterium plasma formed in the surface region of the palladium cathode in the electrolysis of heavy water. It is shown that the Coulomb potential is overscreened producing, at certain distances, an attractive potential between deuterium nuclei pairs and also between the deuterium nuclei and the surface atoms. This be...
